What gives you the right to define them?

....or you to define others....

What gives you the right to define them?

Your response is strange.
I can define anyone I damn well please.
What gives you the right to question if I can or not?

"Socially liberal while fiscally conservative" is the Libertarian platform.
It is not the Republican platform.
Therefore, based on your description, they fit as Libertarian rather than Republican.
Seems they just want to call themselves Republican even though they fit Libertarian.

I first fact-checked their bias, and they came up as slightly centre-right/conservative and tend to use words to sway people more over to the right, but supposedly they have a high accuracy of being factual. That doesn't mean they are wholly factual about everything if they are somewhat right leaning.

From your source:

"We hypothesize that support for violence is part of a broader assassination culture,
underpinned by psychological and ideological factors.

● Online Amplification of Radical Ideation: Our analysis supports the belief that BlueSky plays
a significant and predictive role in amplifying radical ideation.

○ Users are increasingly associating the memeification of Luigi Mangione with calls for
political violence against Musk, Trump, and others, reflecting the growing
cyber-social presence of assassination culture."

-----------

Now while they hypothesize and conduct surveys, actual psychologists are working with these people who murder to ascertain the facts for each separate case.

I'll wait to see what the psychologists' reports about this murderer and not paint everyone with the same brush.

And they make no mention that BlueSky warned every user on their platform that they would be permanently banned if they didn't stop with their unwelcome rhetoric.

Interesting they didn’t mention that..

Newsweek downplays the amount of hate on that site.
It was so bad they had to actually warn people.
Obviously highly pervasive.
You can’t hate the media enough.

What a lot of tripe.

And i think you may find the tattoos members of prison gangs display show where their allegiances lie, especially so where the likes of the Aryan Brotherhood are concerned. 

They label themselves repeatedly so.  

Also, it's my understanding that prisoners currently serving time in most states cannot vote, so.....

Soooo.


Ignore what 80 to 90 percent of the gangs are doing.  Murder, pushing and trafficking drugs, and human trafficking.  Where the majority of blacks murdered is from black on black violence.  Then take specific gangs doing the same thing as other gangs, and then call it “right wing” violence.  Now that’s cherry picking.

I’ll tell you from being in the middle of it, in a time when the internet and cellphones weren’t really a thing, the coverage from the live news vans and helicopters on TV was a spectacle you wouldn’t forget.
Here’s a little 2 minute taste…

Notice the gunfights in broad daylight.

Anyway, as ANNEE stated, the looting and burning was opportunistic not political.

Trump inflamed the situation, so put the blame where blame is due.

PolitiFact | Timeline: Was the California National Guard at LA protests when Trump thanked them?

"On June 6, 2025, protests began in Los Angeles after Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) agents raided several city locations to arrest individuals allegedly involved in illegal immigration to the United States. Some protests turned into riots after protestors clashed with the Los Angeles Police Department (LAPD) and ICE,[sup][a][/sup] but most remained peaceful and occurred within a small stretch of downtown Los Angeles."

....or you to define others....

There are many definers here, which I like to define as those who need to define others in order to define themselves.

Or, they could be labelled "labellers".

 the looting and burning was opportunistic not political.

Their self stated motive by the perps was political and social.
So that has to be a factor. 
Can't ignore it otherwise it's disingenuous.

Post the source so I can peruse it.

I am not going to go back 5 years to find news reports of BLM looting and arson to post it here for you to just deny it anyways.   I have better things to do with my time.    The looters and arsonists said their motive was political and social ... many said the looting was their 'reparations'.
